Green a Co. report on cotton futures says;
There mas been better general tone on cotton
contracts with fuller business transacted, and
an advance in values all along the line, with the
possible exception of such influence as continued
full spot movement might carry. There did not
appear to be any stimulating feature on an
average showing, and the gain was due mainly
to covering. Shorts seemed disheartened in a
measure by the failure of prices to drop Off
more rapidly, and both locally and out of town
were taking up their engagements There was
also renewal of interest in August, with fuller
trading than for several days, prices advancing
s points, while the gain was 56r6 points on later
options the close standing very steady at top
figures of the day"

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Extreme dullness charac-
terized to-days trading on the Board Of Trade,
and afforded further opportunity for grumbliug
over the new high commission rules. More
than half the time the wheat pit was deserted,
and as no accessOns were made to neighboring
pits the presumption is that traders became
disguised and left the floor. Two or three times
during the morning September crawled up to
6Dc and after holding there moment, would
weaken off. Then certain local Spectator
would buy little, but ii was evident he only
wanted To hold the market. There was nothing
in sight that could he called a good demand.
Brokers were largely without orders, while
scalDers saw no opportunity TO scalp. The corn
pit was particularly barren of news, not having
even any unusual weather conditions TO talk
about. There was some spasinodic attempts
made TO support prices as in wheat Wheat
opened rather weak and 14G1Mc lower, but i'm
proved &c and sold steady for some time,
eased OF again, and closed about 13c higher
than Yesterday Notwithstanding the crop OF
the United States is estimated at loss than last
wear aud the India crop - also deficient, there
seems to be hestancy about buying, which is
attributed to the increased yield of European
countries Receipts continue on about par
with the preceding days Vessel room IS scarce.
Corn wns q trife unsettled. Trading was chiefly
local The market opened shade lower than
Yesterday; closing was firm and advanced Nc.
reacted Mc, then advanced with slight changes
9S66I5c, ruled irregular, and closed Nc higher
than yesterday, excepting for May, which was
unchanged. A good cash demand exists for the
better grades, and prices are a shade stronger.
Oats were duh, weak and heavy. Prices did not
fuctuate much, but closed AG0Lc lower In
provisions traders continue TO have too much
leisure time on their hands to suit In to-days
trade the late dullness was repeated, and there
was no change of any moment in the condition
of the market. Fluctuations In different arti-
Giles were also confined TO exceedingly small
limits 10 lard the closing showed an advance
OF 2llc. while year pork was 2Oc higher, January
pork iUc and January short ribs 219c
Cash quotations to-day ruled as follows:
Flour firm and without change. Wheat, No. 2
